Getting her a gift before we go on christmas break for college...good idea?

[Brady_to_Moss]

Been dating for about 2 weeks. Kiss each other whenever we see or leave each other. Shes just amazing. I am thinking about getting her her favorite perfume that she loves. Its pretty expensive but i really dont care about the price at all...Good idea?

If you feel like you've been dating long enough to get her a gift this year, then I would definitely do it. Make sure you write an appropriate card though, brief, but heartfelt.

 

I would give it to her the last day you guys hang out before each one of you leaves for home, OR a really cute thing to do would be to mail it to her house. She'll get it unexpectedly (girls love surprises) and she'll know you put in the extra time.

Dating only 2 weeks, she's told you she doesn't want to be in a relationship right now, and you're in college? Expensive perfume is definitely a no-no.

Brady, this girl might seem like she's the best person in the world, but she's not, and you need to lay off a bit. If you guys were really close and have been bf/gf for a few months at least, then getting her a gift would be appropriate, but you need to understand what would happen if you went through with this. Yes, it might seem like a sweet and warm thing to do, but there's such a thing as being too sweet early on. By getting her expensive perfume, or any other big gift, you're in a way telling her that you're infatuated with her and that you need her. That's not a good thing.

 

I sugest either one of two alternatives.

 

One - plan not to give her a gift, but go out and get something small and cheap anyway. This way, if she surprises you with a gift, you don't have to look like an ass by not getting her anything, but it's still a simple gift that doesn't mean much but shows that you were thinking of her. Maybe a nice wool hat or scarf or something...get something from your college's store. If she doesn't give you a gift, hold onto it. If you guys are still going out come valentine's day then give it to her then.

 

Option 2 - This might sound silly, but in college, alcohol is an awesome gift, lol. If someone gave me a handle of sailor jerry's I'd love them. Get her a 6-pack of smirnoff ice or some chick drink for like 10-15 bucks. Get something for yourself too. Invite her over and pull out the drinks and say it's on you. That is, of course, if you guys drink.

Well she actually txted me the other day talking about what i want for christmas. If she gets me something i would feel bad if i didnt have even a small thing to give her..

I was also hung up on the idea of the expensive perfume. I'd get her SOMETHING (in light of her text to you), but not expensive. Since she asked you what you want, reply with a couple ideas and then ask her what she wants. But really, the most I'd spend when you've only been together for 2 weeks is less than 20 bucks.

Lol. Getting you wasted's on me. Merry Christmas.

 

I suggest you get her something small but clever/funny.
